Windows API Code Pack is live, and with support for Windows 7 Sensors!

  • Article

As a part of the Windows 7 RC release wave, the Windows SDK team has released the “Windows® API Code Pack for Microsoft® .NET Framework (v0.85)”. What is this code pack you may ask? This .NET source code supports new Windows 7 light-up developer features including the following:

- Shell features

- Direct 3D 11.0

- Sensor Platform APIs

 

This is a preview release, so it may change between now and RTM, but it does enable you to code against these features with your favorite .NET language for Windows 7. The sensor API code even includes samples (For accelerometer and light sensor) that show off the capabilities of the Windows 7 Sensor Development Kit hardware!

 

Here’s a link to the Code Pack release page:
